While your node is up to date with latest blocks, your wallet is out of sync.

If you look at your wallet, the last transaction it shows is in 2012. If you look up the address on a block explorer - https://mempool.space/address/1MSHHa7vC3zKGAvZ1LuS7tvBKe58wtZbsr - you'll see two transactions since then: A deposit of 0.025 BTC in 2020, and then a withdrawal of the full balance of the wallet (9.8351537 BTC) in 2021.

Use the command rescanblockchain to sync your wallet with the latest blocks and I'm afraid the balance will then disappear.
